Yesterday the clouds were heavy with rain – the air grew oppressive under the weight of high dew point levels. Within minutes the ominous clouds emptied in sheets of torrential rain upon the earth. Within seconds the air lightened. The clouds were replaced with pristine blue skies. In those brief moments, the earth was cleansed and refreshed. We experience similar storms in life. We can become burdened with the weight of sadness, worry, anxious thoughts. We might gasp for air at times, thinking relief will never come. Our hearts grow cold, our souls weary, our bodies and minds dry up and sometimes our spirit dies. It is then that God sends His refreshing waters – to renew us, to satisfy us and to give us strength. That living water is presented to us through His Holy Word. It is the only place to find the rejuvenation that brings new life.
As I reach the end of my years, I find I have a lot of good information stored up in this old decrepit mind of mine. If I don't write it all down, it may vanish and no one will have the advantage of my thoughts. This is why this blog exists. I love the Lord, Jesus with all my heart and soul. I know I'm undeserving of all He's done for me, but I also know that His love is beyond my comprehension.
I've always wanted to write. I never kept diaries, but tucked my thoughts in my head for future reference. I use them now in creating stories, plays, poetry and my blog.
I continue to learn every day. I believe the compilation of our time spent with God will have huge affect on the way we live. I know I'm a sinner and I need a Savior. I have One through Jesus, Christ.
My book, "Stages - a memoir," is about the seven stages of life from the perspective of a woman. It addresses all the things girls and women go through in life as they travel it with Jesus, and it is available on Amazon.com.
Amen! Blessings to God for His eternal living water. He refreshes our own spiritual presence. Kathy, your words fill with even deeper meaning to anyone who truly believes.

I'm a retiree in his seventies. That may not be significant to many, since there is a bunch of us Baby Boomers around. However, in the year 2,000, when I received a diagnosis of Multiple Myeloma, I expected to be dead in three to five years.

If we follow his lead, our roots will grow deeper and stronger in Him during our dry spells. We must remember that!
